Amelia's Guide to Gossip

Amelia's Notebooks #19

by Marissa Moss

Gossip is fun—especially juicy gossip—until it’s about Amelia herself! Amelia learns the consequences of spreading rumors in this important Amelia story.

Amelia likes gossip as much as the next person—after all, it’s fun and doesn’t hurt anyone, right? There’s rumor reading, urban legends, and best of all, gossip about teachers! Then when completely untrue gossip starts to travel about Amelia telling on a girl for writing mean emails—gossip isn’t so fun or harmless anymore. How can Amelia stop gossip about her that’s like a piece of gum stuck to her shoe?

Finally one of my younger siblings has entered the Amelia Obsession, and so I have an excuse to re-read everything!! I found this one especially interesting as an adult embroiled in Internet drama and Internet misinformation. It holds up nicely and reminds me why I loved & love the Amelia books-- colorful, honest, and written with care. Now to return it covertly to the stack of library books...!

I think this book is great for elementary kids. This book is kind of a combination of Dork Diaries and Junie B. Jones.

Good book for tweens just figuring out how to (avoid) gossip. Lighthearted treatment that accepts there will be gossip and how to make it work for you.

This book was really funny. My favorite part was when she told things she knew about her family and friends. That was probably pretty embrassing for them if anyone found out!
